Who loves the cold?

I'd seen the polar bear at Edinburgh zoo a few times, and I was glad when they announced that they were moving it up to The Highland Wildlife Park, where it would have more space.

Of course, it's colder up there. And this winter it snowed like buggery. Making it an entirely happy bear - or as the BBC would have it a silly old polar bear.

I found this great photoset.

And this fantastic video. Polar Bears - both terrifying and cute.

The charity I worked at in Greece had a sanctuary for bears liberated from being Dancing Bears - they had horrendous repetative behaviours, pacing, endlessly chewing their paws, even though they had huge and very enriching enclosures; only the bears that had been there several years were starting to lose them; I suspect Mercedes will take bloody years to break out of them
